Such was the high demand, instructions and diversions were put into place to reduce the risk of traffic coming to a standstill over the course of July 15 and 16.

Speaking before the event, Andy Hunter, chair of the Woodhall Spa 1940s Festival committee, said: “We are really excited that we are about to throw open the doors to the Festival yet again.

“We expect a high volume of visitors, especially if like last year the weather is very good, which is why we’ve put in a lot of work to enhance our traffic and parking management plans.

“We know the high influx of vehicles entering Woodhall Spa last year created some stress points, but we’ve learned lessons and done what we feel is needed to deliver a successful and enjoyable event that continues to bring new visitors to our village."

The official figure of official attendees has not yet been disclosed but it is thought an even higher number turned out to enjoy the Streets numerous stalls and colourful events in place as part of the celebration of that era.

And as our pictures show it looks like the scores of people experiencing the event first-hand certainly had a good time.
